Famous TikTok star Carl Eiswerth has reportedly died in a car accident at the age of 35.

The social media star was said to be in the passenger seat of his friend’s car when they were hit at an intersection in Pennsylvania on Tuesday.

Eiswerth entertained half a million TikTok followers before his untimely death, often posting light-hearted videos.

The late star’s mum Janet shared the sad news with TMZ, and revealed how the tragedy happened.

It is believed the family will be holding two memorial services, and may live stream the event so fans can pay their respects.

Janet also explained how she doesn’t know whether Eiswerth’s family will take over his page, or if any further material will be posted.

In Eiswerth’s last video on the app – posted two days before the fatal crash – the star seemed in good spirits as he wished his followers, ‘Happy Sunday.’

But just a week ago, the star said he hadn’t ‘been live’ lately because he’s been ‘down in the dumps’.

He poignantly went on to say: ‘But I’m feeling alright, I’m here, I’m alive. I miss you guys and I hope that you know that I love you and I care about you guys and I would never about forget you.’

Fans will certainly never forget him, as many took to TikTok to share their grief at the sad news of someone who never failed to be positive and funny.

Alongside a video of the star, one fan wrote: ‘R.I.P buddy you will be missed by many, your amazing lives dancing and being a funny person and always smiling will be greatly missed.’

Another said: ‘My sincere condolences and prayers go out to his family… Carl was a damn good one… Sad way to go… RIP Brother.’

One particularly heartwarming comment said: ‘Carl! I just found out and my heart is absolutely shattered! You were more than a tiktoker to me! You were my friend!’
